re: Power back on estimate BR area are in.

Heat is generated by power distribution lines. Over head the heat dissipation is easy allowing use of smaller dia cables for less cost. Underground the heat dissipation is non existent , forcing the use of much heavier cables with low resistance and a lot of cost.

I can almost promise you it won't be anywhere near that long. Let them do assessments and start making repairs. This wasn't some huge expected storm where they have tons of crews in place. Baws are out there right now doing triage and getting equipment and materials lined up.
I'll be at it at 6:30 am doing my part. shite will get fixed before you know it. This wasn't a hurricane.
Cheer up buttercup

Not only that but while underground lines will be better protected from winds and storms, I doubt they're infallible, something will go wrong eventually and repairing overhead lines is probably easier and cheaper than having to dig anytime the power goes out, even if it's less frequent. Plus overhead lines make it easy to see where the source of an outage is

Wait…… are you a lineman?
That does not fit the mental image I have of you

Think about this, if a line goes down, it's pretty easy to see where it's down, and relatively easier to remove the hazards and run new wire. Plus you aren't having to dodge other utilities as much.
In the ground you are dealing with having to find where the fault is, and then you have all sorts of other utilities which make digging and repairing a hazard.
So there's that

That was the same note we got but power is already back on here.

No, but I've got a lot of respect for them.
Well now i'm curious. What's that look like?

Well ideally they wouldn’t have to dig every time.. once you have conduit laid you should be able to pull wire through to replace it if needed. Although inevitably, conduits will eventually break due to damage from other people digging, compression, settling, or whatever. There are more things that can go wrong and it’s more time-consuming to troubleshoot because you can’t see any of it.
So ultimately you’re right in principle, they are not maintenance-free and whenever maintenance is required, it’s generally more costly. It all eats into the theoretical cost savings, which didn’t offset the capital costs in the first place.

Not like someone who wears square toe boots and bedazzled arse pockets on your jeans that’s for sure.
Posted on 5/13/24 at 10:52 pm to CottonWasKing
My boots are round toe and waterproof, although I don't mind a good square toe. Really about functionality for Me.
And I don't even own a pair of fancy jeans. Clothes are functional.
Lord I can't imagine the picture some of y'all have painted.

That’s the date and time they have for everywhere in the city. It will be on before then. Those estimated times have always been worthless anyway.

Okay...while I do own a version of pretty much everything in that picture...my hair isn't long (anymore. It's more gone than anything now)
But yeah that's me at ren-faire. Or on occasion. Those shirts (100% rayon) are ridiculously comfy

I just drove around the entire neighborhood and down Jefferson Bluebonnet and there is not a single truck working on anything, so it’s obviously a wider issue.i work from my house and I’m already behind and without going into specific details, because of the weird timing of this, it will cost me thousands. I can’t catch a break lately.

Crews are still being assembled, guys are in lay down yards loading things up, and people are out there, maybe not obvious or even in marked trucks yet, making assessments and communicating information.
Like a big ship, it doesn't turn on a dime and requires many moving parts and people.
Tomorrow will be a busy day once the day crews get in. A lot of the night crews may just be prepping for the day crew. Tomorrow afternoon I'd expect a lot of people will be back on.
Gonna be a muddy one for sure

It looks like they already removed them.
